The next morning, we walked into town for Mother's Day coffee
and met the Gittleman's
with their wallet eating dog
before heading home to assemble the troups for the annual Mother's day
lunch.
As we'd done in previous years
2004
2003
2002
2001
we went to Main Street where we sat at the same table but in different seats
as Ben and Sarah were one side
Suzanne was at the head
and I
sat next to Jane
even as Ben
posed for a few more pictures. We began with Bloody Mary's (as we
did last year)
and then con queso dip
as these family pictures
were taken by the waitress
who remembered taking our pictures last year as well.
Suzanne had salmon
Jane had the sandwich
Ben had the burger
Sarah had the salad
and I had vegetarian chili
all of which represented only slight departures from the year before.
For dessert, we added carrot cake
to the Mississippi mud
and the brownie with ice cream
from the previous year.
Somehow, I think we'll be going back to Main Street next year.
